A fond farewell

Many of the parish were able to say a proper goodbye ‘Aston & Nechells’ style to Jenny and Andy Arnold, who will be moving to Christ Church, Quinton in a couple of weeks time. A special service in which Jenny will be welcomed officially to the church will be Thursday 15 March at 7.30 pm and all are welcome.

Exciting news - A new curate!!

We are delighted to announce that Mike Harmon will be coming to join us as a curate next summer. He will be ordained in Birmingham Cathedral on Sunday 1st July 2012.

Mike was born in the Black Country where he lived until moving to south Birmingham in the 1990s. Mike worked as a teacher for a number of years teaching English in schools around the West Midlands. He changed career direction and worked as a tax technical specialist for a number of years based in London and Birmingham.

Before moving to Aston and Nechells Mike is living for two years in Oxford while undertaking ordination training at Wycliffe Hall. Mike is married to Lynne who is a counsellor-therapist currently working for the NHS. They have two sons, Alex and Russ, who live in Western Australia and Iceland respectively. In his spare time Mike enjoys golf, skiing, cycling and baltis though not all at the same time.

Update on Plevins window

Thank you. There has been a huge response to the appeal for information about the Joseph and Francis Plevins the people mentioned in the memorial window that urgently needs repair in the South Aisle of Aston Parish Church.

The window is still in very poor condition but obtaining all the data we now have on Joseph Plevins is an important first step in the search for the funds to restore the window.

Please look at the History section of Aston Parish Church for the information we have so far.
